Yokohama has been holding a variety of events this year as one of the host cities in the yearlong Culture City of East Asia 2014 project.
The idea of enhancing cultural exchanges among Japan, China and South Korea was agreed on at the ministerial level in 2011. In September 2013, prior to launching the project, the culture ministers of the three neighbors met in the South Korean city of Gwangji and designated one East Asia City of Culture in each country.
